Fans of the famous '80s and '90s rocker Axl Rose, who has a $150 million net worth value, were shocked when news spread about his death flooded the social media on Dec. 3. However, the report was just a hoax and the 52-yaer-old Guns N' Roses front man proved that he's not dead by addressing the issue on Twitter.

Axl Rose's death hoax came from a Web site called MSNBC.website.com. Seems familiar? Well, the Web site was also responsible for Macaulay Culkin's death rumors in November. Though fans were shocked, the report was absolutely fake. According to The Richest, Axl Rose has an estimated $150 million net worth.

Axl Rose is an American singer-songwriter and musician. He is the lead vocalist and the only remaining original member of the hard-rock band Guns N' Roses with a remarkable multimillion net worth. Recently, Axl Rose has been the subject of a death hoax. As reported by the Hollywood Life, Axl Rose addressed the fake death rumors on Dec. 4 at 8 a.m. through a tweet on social media.
